Rams taking #1 overall and then their next pick is at #110

ColHowPepper : 4/28/2016 12:24 pm : link
always appreciate the input from arguably legit asshats, across the board

That said, I would hate it if Lawson were the pick, which I think your list allows as a possibility

Doctson would be heaven, at the right slot
I think we can all agree that

which ever asshat is incorrect gets the Cerci Lannister treatment down Broadway as soon as the draft ends.
If Mara wants an impact player who is the guy?

John Mara made the statement earlier about the Giants needing impact players in this draft.

I seriously think the giants "highest rated by position" is based on who they could get, not everyone in the draft.

I have heard this statement about David wilson, Flowers, even Rueben Randle.

The Irony...  
ThatLimerickGuy : 4/28/2016 12:38 pm : link
Is that it's not a me v. anyone thing and the end result will probably be what most of us think- Floyd as the pick.

Ramsey, Tunsil, Jack, and Buckner will all be gone, leaving us with Floyd who I think myself and any beat reporter thinks is the most likely possibility.

The only real difference between what anyone else is hearing and what I am hearing is that now a lot of people are saying it's Conklin, which I've not heard. On a personal note I don't think the Giants can even invest that much 1st round draft talent into the OL because eventually all need to get paid. So for those saying you might only get 5 years from Jack, be prepared to lose Flowers in 5 years anyway when a team backs up the Brinks truck for him.

The only other thing I am hearing different than anyone else is that the Giants won't pass on Jack at 10.

Where things are going to get really weird is if the following guys are all gone:

Ramsey
Tunsil
Jack
Buckner
Floyd

Which is a very very real possibility.

As I said the other day, the best laid plan for the Giants is for 1 of 4 guys (Ramsey, Tunsil, Jack, Buckner)
to be sitting there at 10 and they truly do think that is going to happen. It makes sense too, as Elliot isn't getting out of the top 8 and I still hear that a QB is going to go 7, whether to the niners or someone else in a trade. So if Goff, Wentz, Elliot, and Lynch all go before the Giants then if just one more guy outside of their top 4 sneaks into the top 10 they are Golden, whether it be Stanley or Bosa or Rankins or Hargreaves.

Jon in NYC : 4/28/2016 12:40 pm : link
To be fair, 100% taking Jack and 100% passing on Jack is a pretty big gap. Especially since he's arguably the best pound for pound player in the draft pre-injury.

This sounds very likely. I really like Floyd and I think NYG likes then a lot mainly because they think he has the best chance to be available and can hopefully keep the rest of their picks and not move up.
What I've heard today  
JonC : 4/28/2016 1:07 pm : link
is the pick is expected to be Floyd or Conklin, and if both of them are gone the belief is a better prospect has slipped to them. Jack is "doubtful".

One name I've not heard once this entire offseason is Lawson.

Jack is doubtful to slip or doubtful to be the pick if he's there?
Lawson?  
JonC : 4/28/2016 1:12 pm : link
Not explosive or quick-twitch enough, a bit undersized relative to their premium prototype, body needs a lot of revamping, and his projected upside isn't premium pass rusher in the NFL. Not high enough for #10, imv. Shoulder was also flagged, that's a fact.

Why doubtful? Doubtful because of the injury concerns or doubtful becauss he will probably not be available when we pick?

His shoulder was cleared at medical rechecks.
Conklin...  
Strip-Sack : 4/28/2016 1:19 pm : link
is starting to make more and more sense...wonder which way they'd go if both are there. If it is Conklin, the Giants will have two of the nastiest bookend tackles in the NFL no doubt!
Not a fan of lawson at 10 at all  
jayg5 : 4/28/2016 1:19 pm : link
But not sure I unserstand the proto type talk anymore. They won't draft a De who isn't 6'4+,but will pay Vernon(6'2).
By the Giants?  
JonC : 4/28/2016 1:19 pm : link
general clearance isn't necessarily a bottom line.
Vernon's a proven pro

It almost sounds possible that the following could be there

Floyd, Lawson, Conklin, Elliot, Hargreaves, Bosa, Jack, Treadwell.

Out of that group a handful should be there. I'm thinking a lot of us are going to be pissed off with who they pass on.

bingo!
So from what we;ve heard are these the two tiers?  
BigBlue1092 : 4/28/2016 1:34 pm : link
Tier One
Ramsey
Tunsil
Buckner
Jack* (Between One and Two with injury)

Tier Two
Floyd
Conklin
Treadwell
Elliot

NYG doctors would have to clear him before investing a draft pick in him, not rely on groupthink. I don't know if that is the case.

Teams have different criteria to get cleared medically

if the Giants don't draft an OL in round 1 and do what many here feel would be fiscally prudent and wait until day 2-3 to draft that OL, if that OL develops into a stud, something we all want, that stud is still going to get paid 4-5 years from now. The same 4-5 years from now that would see the first rounder get paid.

It won't matter when the guy is drafted. He's gonna get his 5 years from now regardless. And The Giants would still have staggered all of the OL picks. Pugh is due in 2 years. Richburg in 3 years. Flower in 4 years...this year's guy 5 in years. See? All is well.
Conklin at #10

The #1 reason for the combine is the medical checks. MRI's are done and some players end up getting flagged by NFL team doctors. Then they have the medical rechecks. MRI's are once again done and then compared to the last MRI. Shaq Lawson was cleared by the SAME NFL team doctors that flagged him.

So, to be clear, you want to believe the NFL team doctors the first time around but not the second.

You sound like a lawyer misrepresenting what I said, which is I want NYG doctors to clear any player they're considering investing in. Passing a re-check is fine and noted, but it's not good enough, it's potentially incomplete groupthink.
I'm sure all teams

Well Jon you claim you have an inside source, why don't you check with them in regards to Lawson..

Lol however what you said is clear, you want to directly hear it from the Giants doctors instead of assuming they were among the group of NFL team doctors that cleared him.

What I'm saying is you heard his shoulder was flagged from the same source the rest of us did and that was at the combine from NFL team doctors. What I'm failing to understand is why were they good enough the first time, at the combine, but not the second at the rechecks.. All sounds kind of funny doesn't it?
